Distribution of Variables

We found that the mean for female deaths is rfemale_prop_deaths_mean`and for male deaths is 59.8046875. The mean for female cases is 48.0390625 and for male cases is 51.96875.

This chart shows the proportion of deaths and cases for females. This graph shows that while it is closer to even (50%) some countries have proportions that are significantly lower for females. This may be disrupted by testing access for females in those countries.

We created this chart in order to be able to compare it to the “Proportion of Deaths for Females vs Proportion of Cases for Females” chart. As you can see, the proportion of confirmed cases for males goes above 60%, while for women, it plateaus at 60%. Due to the higher confirmed cases, it makes sense that the proportion of deaths in men will be greater than women. This also means that more men are coming into contact with COVID-19, whether it be from work or even not wearing a mask.

Relationships Between Variables

This plot depicts fifteen countries with the highest amount of COVID-related deaths in March 2022. The chart is also color coded to show the varying GDP values of each country. The visualization demonstrates that surprisingly, some countries with a higher GDP have a higher amount of deaths. This might mean that other factors such as timing can outweigh having more access to more resources and knowledge on fighting the virus. Furthermore, the data might not also account for COVID deaths that have not been recorded.

This map of the United States depicts percent of population who’s taken a booster dose of a COVID-19 Vaccine. This shows that the states with highest booster percentage seem to be on the coasts, with the lowest percentage in the Southern US. This emphasizes the importance of providing and advocating for boosters in these states.
